The adventure is already over for Leolia Jeanjean. This Wednesday, the French, 129th player in the world, was knocked out in the round of 16 of the WTA tournament in Rabat in Morocco, on clay, by the Kazakh Yulia Putintseva, 61st player in the world and seeded n ° 6, in two short sets (6-2, 6-1) and 1h15 into the game. In the first round, the Frenchwoman lost her entry service. Before a second and final break at the worst of times. And more precisely at 2-4. In the process, the Kazakh did not hesitate to conclude and pocket this first round (6-2). Finally, in the second and final set, this time, the Habs lost all of their serves. After a first break, then a double-break, white, in stride, Leolia Jeanjean saved her first break point, before cracking on the second and last. To find themselves fairly quickly trailing 5-0.
Putintseva had seven match points
In the process, Yulia Putintseva had the opportunity to conclude this meeting already. But the better ranked of the two was unable to conclude a single one of its five match points obtained. Opposite, the lower ranked of the two offered herself a very slight reprieve, by converting her fourth break point, to erase one of her handicaps. But that was only a postponement. And it is on the own service of the 129th player in the world that the 61st player in the world has finally achieved her goals, after two new break points which are therefore synonymous with match points (6-1). In the quarter-finals, the seeded n°6 will face Argentina Julia Riera, 195th player in the world, who defeated the Egyptian Mayar Sherif, 55th in the world and seeded n°3, in two sets (7-5 , 7-5) and 2h32 of play.
